Samba Já is Eugene’s own bateria - a thirty-member mobile percussion ensemble. They specialize in playing wild, funky, infectious, and incredibly danceable street music from all over Brazil and the Americas, from the sounds of Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro to hip-hop tributes. Diverse, playful, and innovative, Samba Já recently celebrated its seventh birthday! No longer under the artistic direction of founder Jake Pegg, we are now 'self-led'. Samba Já will bring its irrepressible, ecstatic rhythms to your parade, party, festival, grand opening, or other large event.
Combining the talents and enthusiasm of people from all over the world and all walks of life, Samba Já has performed at venues such as the Sam Bond's Garage, The Hult Center, HONK!Fest West, NorthWest Folklife Festival, Oregon Country Fair, Eugene Celebration, Eugene First Night, Saturday Market, Wildish Community Theater in Springfield, the WOW Hall, McDonald Theater, Reser Stadium, Cozmic Pizza and enthusiastically received elementary school concerts. Come dance along in the parade with Samba Já!
ATTENTION Touring bands (local too!)! If you are going to be in the area, looking for an opener/bill-splitter etc., and think our sounds work together; be in touch, we still have a lot of dates available! Booking can be done through this site. Please allow at least two weeks for confirmation.
Thanks for rocking the Take Back the Night march again this year! You are a beloved part of our event and we look forward to seeing you there next year, your energy and enthusiasm is always amazing and much appreciated!
